35 Weeks down/35 Days to go!

How far along? 35 weeks!

How big is baby? Size of a honeydew melon. Anywhere between 19 and 22 inches long and weighs about 5 and 1/4 pounds.

Physical differences from last week? Getting more and more uncomfortable still. His kicking and turning is painful at times.

Total weight gain/loss? Up to about +27-30 lbs overall.

How I'm feeling? Pretty good. As long as I get enough sleep at night I have enough energy to get through most of the day.

What's been on my mind? Getting everything ready that baby boy will need when he gets here! Still need to pick up his car seat, a swing, and some sheets for the crib. I think after that we will have all necessary things ready!

What I'm looking forward to? Starting to go to the doctor every week starting this week. So crazy that it is going so close! Hopefully I will start to see at my appointments if any of these random contractions have been causing any progression or not.

Best moment this past week? My baby shower! I had so much fun and Gavin is already so spoiled. It was so amazing to see all the support we have from friends and family.

33 Weeks

How far along? 33 weeks!

How big is baby? Size of a pineapple. Anywhere between 19 and 22 inches long and weighs about 4 and a half pounds

Physical differences from last week? Getting more and more uncomfortable :(

Total weight gain/loss? Still only up to about +25 lbs overall. Glad this slowed down a bit since I have been eating much healthier the last couple weeks.

How I'm feeling? Now that it's getting closer I am getting a little more stressed about getting everything ready at work for when I'm gone. I definitely have a lot of work to do before D-Day! (So hopefully he's not toooo early)

What's been on my mind? Getting the house cleaned for the baby shower next week! So excited to see everybody and celebrate baby boy's soon-to-be arrival!

What I'm looking forward to? Baby shower next weekend!

Best moment this past week? Nothing too much has been going on the last couple weeks. Trying to rest while I know I can but I can't stop thinking that I have a million things to do and get ready :(

32 Weeks

(Apologize for the crappy light and picture)

31 Weeks!

How far along? 31 weeks! It's going by so fast, 9 weeks to go!

How big is baby? Size of a head of lettuce. About 19 inches long and weighs almost 4 pounds

Physical differences from last week? Baby boy's moving around is definitely getting a little uncomfortable now that he is getting bigger.

Total weight gain/loss? up to about +25 lbs overall. Hoping to slow this down now that the holidays are over.

How I'm feeling? Less stressed and more able to relax now that I've had some time off of work to get stuff done at the house.

What's been on my mind? Just trying to relax a bit before going back to work on Thursday. I know now we are in the final stretches of getting everything ready!

What I'm looking forward to? The countdown to baby boy's arrival is officially in single digit weeks!

Best moment this past week? Setting up the crib and seeing baby's room almost complete! It looks so cute and I can't wait to start using that room regularly! 
Also getting to see baby on the ultrasound in 3D. It was so amazing to see the dimple in his chin and seeing him stick out his tongue and smile at us!

27 Weeks! Third Trimester!

I'm so bad at keeping this up! Hopefully will be better at it since we are now moved into the house and I have a little less going on :)

How far along? 27 weeks! Yay 3rd Trimester! 2/3 of the way there :)

How big is baby? Size of an eggplant. About 16 inches long and weighs just over 2 pounds

Physical differences from last week? Definitely feeling larger. He is kicking a lot now and with much more force. Starting to kick me in the ribs and bladder, which is not such a pleasant feeling. 

Total weight gain/loss? +15 lbs overall. 

How I'm feeling? Sleeping strictly on your sides sucks. My hips are pretty sore most mornings. Other than that still feeling pretty good. Work has been getting a little stressful but I'm just looking forward to my 2 week break coming up in a couple weeks.

What's been on my mind? I found out at my doctors appointment today that I had elevated levels on my glucose test so I have to go in for the 3 hour one :( So not looking forward to sitting in that waiting room for 3 hours. 

What I'm looking forward to? Christmas and winter break off of school, setting up baby's room, and counting down the days until he is here with us!

Best moment this past week? Moving into the house and feeling more settled and ready now that we have more room to get ready to be a family of 4!

20 Weeks! Half way there!

How far along? 20 weeks!

How big is baby? Size of a large banana. About 7 inches long and weighs 11 oz

Physical differences from last week? I've been able to feel where baby boy's head and/or bottom is from the outside as he'll be huddled so much to my side that it sticks out and is hard to the touch. Also am continuing to feel more and more movement.

Total weight gain/loss? 4 lbs over the last 3 weeks and +7 lbs overall.

How I'm feeling? Sleeping is getting a little more uncomfortable as the weeks go by. Other than that still feeling pretty good. Hoping I'll have some energy to get stuff done during my break this week.

What's been on my mind? Picking out paint and themes for Brooklyn's and baby boy's room in the new house! Only about 4 more weeks until the house is ours and we can paint before we move in.

What I'm looking forward to? Moving in to our house and getting ready for the holidays! Thinking about it just puts a smile on my face and makes me anxious for it to happen already!

Best moment this past week? Seeing lil man more in detail during the anatomy scan. Saw all his little fingers and toes and everything in between.
